Hi All,
I have received treatment on my tooth abscess (taken antibiotics but became allergic to them, so have now stopped taking them).
I saw my dentist today who said that the infection seems to be calming down, and gave me a prescription for more antibiotics in case it gets worse
I am on holiday next week and am now scared about developing a brain abscess
I have been to A&E and Out of Hours doctors many times in the last few days, regarding different things.
I have a constant headache on the left side of my head, going into the back of my head (sharp throbbing pains).
The dentist told me that in 20 years of him doing dentistry he has never heard of anyone developing a brain abscess, although I am scared and freaking out.
I saw my GP this morning who was more concerned about my anxiety than my symptoms.
Please can someone provide some reassurance? I do not have a fever, but I am constantly tired, have been having chills and feeling generally unwell.
